Poetry About Poets
Poetry about poets looks at the makers behind the lines: their notebooks, doubts, habits, revisions, late-night drafts, public readings, private failures, and stubborn attention to ordinary things.
A poet is not someone who escapes the world, but someone who keeps listening until the world reveals another way to be said.
Featured Poems
Notebook
A poem about the poet's daily tool.
The poet carried
a notebook
like a second weather.
Rain, overheard laughter,
one red leaf,
all entered
without appointment.
- Clara Vale
Revision
The patience of rewriting.
He crossed out
the beautiful line
because it was lying.
The poem bowed
under the weight
of becoming true.

Reading

At the microphone,
her paper trembled.
Then the first word
stepped out,
and the room
leaned closer.
